Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Wealth Fund Limited procured lender’s technical adviser services for Project Bowden. The adviser supports lenders by providing technical expertise in connection with the project. The procurement is classified as business and management consultancy and related services (CPV 79400000). The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom. The buyer is based in Leeds; the selected supplier, Ove Arup & Partners Limited, is based in London.

The procurement is complete and Ove Arup & Partners Limited was selected for the contract. The award was made on 14 September 2026, for £1,212,000. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 December 2030. The maximum contract value includes optional services, which may or may not be commissioned during the contract. The procurement used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from the National Wealth Fund for lender-side technical advice on Project Bowden, with a contract spanning more than four years and optional services within its maximum scope. A future competitor would need to demonstrate the technical expertise and delivery capacity to advise lenders in support of a project of this scale. The selected supplier is a large engineering and professional services firm, indicating that a business with substantial organisational capability may be well placed to meet the requirement. The work was procured through a selective call-off from a framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete under its call-off arrangements would be important for a supplier seeking similar work from this buyer.
